by Gita Wolf & Sirish Rao, Illustrated by Emanuele Scanziani
Brahma, the creator, is unhappy with the world he has made from his own mind. It is perfect, yet because it is perfect, it lacks death, and therefore life. At his bidding, Vishnu, the preserver, goes down into the new world to set it right. Taking the form of a fish, he finds the man who can help him start afresh, and re-create a living world. Readers of this archaic myth of flood and resurrection will recognise universal parallels in other cultures. The intense and intricate art captures the cosmic sweep of the story.
